Photographic Guide to Sea and Shore Life of Britain and North-west Europe (Oxford Natural History)
Ray Gibson , Ben Hextall , and Alex Rogers Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0198507097 |
Book Description
This photographic guide to sea shore animals and plants represents a completely new approach to field guides. It is aimed at those who wish to find and identify organisms encountered on the sea shore or immediately offshore quickly and easily while promoting their conservation. Uniquely, each species is illustrated by a photograph and, in most cases, accompanied by a line drawing that emphasises the critical features for identification and a map to show the distribution of the species in North-West Europe. The text itself deliberately focuses on features that complement the photographs and facilitate identification non-destructively - where, for example, burrowing worms can only be identified by digging them up and therefore killing them, only the cast, the part usually seen, is shown. Stress is laid on the importance of exploiting all available information for locating and identifying each species - if two species have identical appearance they are described separately and behavioural, geographical, or seasonal features that distinguish them are described in the text. There is no other guide to sea shore organisms like this one; those available are either less comprehensive or less well illustrated. It will appeal to beachcombers of all levels, from families to students and professionals, as well to divers and those visiting the proliferating numbers of commercially run marine aquaria that are open to the public.

Lake District
Colin Baxter Manufacturer: Colin Baxter ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1900455293 |
Book Description
The Lake District is one of Britain's most beautiful national parks, a rich blend of fell, dale, and fresh water, attracting millions of visitors every year. Colin Baxter has been photographing this dramatic and compelling landscape for many years, portraying the real atmosphere of the Lake District in a way that conveys a feeling of actually being there. Bow Fell looming above mist-clad Little Langdale; winter pinks and blues on a perfectly still Windermere at dusk; the mirror reflection of Langdale Pikes on Blea Tarn; a symphony of mountains in rich browns across Wast Water. "The Lake District" captures these very special places and moments, creating a collection of Colin Baxter's best photographs.Colin Baxter is widely acclaimed for his distinctive landscape photography. In the early 1980s his work revolutionized the postcard industry in Scotland and he started photographing the Lake District around that time. He has produced a wide range of publications, including calendars and more than twenty books. His work is broadening to encompass the landscapes of other countries including France and Iceland. He lives in the highlands of Scotland.

From 60 Yards In: How to Master Golf's Short Game
Raymond Floyd Manufacturer: Collins ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0060922850 |
Amazon.com
While most of golfers love to hit the driving range and just grip it and rip it, the truth is golf is won and lost in the short game--the chips, pitches, and putts that mean the difference between good scores and psychiatrist's bills. Raymond Floyd's swing may be unorthodox, but his guilt is in the safecracker's touch he possesses around the green. While Floyd is primarily concerned with passing on quality short-game instruction, his chapter on "Golf and the Mind" is indispensable to anyone intent on taking the game seriously.Book Description
Tips on the Short Game from Golf Legend Ray FloydThe short game is arguably the hardest part of golf. Hitting the ball off the tee is easy compared to the recovery shots and touch shots needed to get the ball onto the green and into the hole.
Ray Floyd is an acknowledged master of the short game, and he strongly credits his longtime success to his proficiency form 60 yards in.
In this profusely illustrated book, Floyd shares his personal theories on all facets of the short game: pitching, chipping, putting, and more. He describes what has worked for him and some of his colleagues and makes suggestions on how to vary shots depending on the reader's abilities and tendencies. He relates anecdotes of famous shots that have won for him, offers a wide range of practice exercises, and explains how the pros calmly handle unusual shots that leave duffers perplexed.
In all, this book will increase readers' golf smarts, bolster their confidence and lower their scores.

GREAT Book, BUT NOT in Digital Format.......2004-02-12
The problem is that even though Microsoft Reader allows one to change the fonts of the print to suit the reader, scanned images like ALL the cover letter examples are not scalable, so it is impossible to distinguish an e from an o, l from an i, and so on.
Amazon should not sell books with graphics and fixed images in digital format, or at least should warn customers of the issue before they pay to download a book in digital format that has over 70% in unscalable, unreadable format.

A Writer's Companion : A Handy Compendium of Useful but Hard-To-Find Information on History, Literature, Art, Science, Travel, Philosophy and Much More
Louis D. Rubin Manufacturer: Collins ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0062734725 |
Amazon.com
For years the personal reference shelf has remained fairly static: the dictionary and thesaurus, the atlas and almanac. But Louis Rubin's A Writer's Companion fills perfectly the niche of his own creation; it is a compilation of eclectic and elusive information on everything a writer, editor, teacher, or data-dabbler might want within arm's reach. Dedicated to Charles Dillon Stengel's maxim "You could look it up," Rubin's gift to the reference community features 66 lists and glossaries ranging from travel and transportation to history and politics, architecture and art to religion, literature, and television, plus sports, gastronomy, law, psychoanalysis, and the natural world.Customer Reviews:
Great facts; good resource for trivia lovers........2001-08-20

And, of course, background detail makes your writing more valuable and interesting.
Whether you are researching the names of native American tribes, legal terms, sports, movies, religious calendars, architectural terms, famous hotels or just about anything else, this book will be your constant reference.
As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend this book to writers everywhere. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.
